Am
I mAmet a woman lFong ago
Her hAmair the black that blaFck can go
Are yAmou a teacher ofF the heart ?
AmSoft she answered no
I met a girl across the sea
Her hair the gold that gold can be
Are you a teacher of the heart ?
Yes, but not for thee
I met a man who lost his mind
In some lost place I had to find
Follow me the wise man said
But he walked behind
I walked into a hospital
Where none was sick and none was well
When at night the nurses left
I could not walk at all
Morning came and then came noon
Dinner time a scalpel blade
Lay beside my silver spoon
Some girls wander by mistake
Into the mess that scalpels make
Are you the teachers of my heart ?
We teach old hearts to break
One morning I woke up alone
The hospital and the nurses gone
Have I carved enough my Lord ?
Child, you are a bone
I ate and ate and ate
No I did not miss a plate, well
How much do these suppers cost ?
We'll take it out in hate
I spent my hatred everyplace
On every work on every face
Someone gave me wishes
And I wished for an embrace
Several girls embraced me
Then I was embraced by men
Is my passion perfect ?
No, do it once again
I was handsome, I was strong
I knew the words of every song
Did my singing please you ?
No, the words you sang were wrong
Who is it whom I address
Who takes down what I confess ?
Are you the teachers of my heart ?
We teach old hearts to rest
Oh teachers are my lessons done ?
I cannot do another one
They laughed and laughed and said,
Well child
Are your lessons done ?
Are your lessons done ?
Are your lessons done ?
